dre: Our annual Christmas Day dim sum has been challenged since the closure of The Grand in Etobicoke. There just isn't a good replacement that takes reservations on Christmas Day AND tastes just as good! We decided to try this place out, Bliss Chinese Cuisine. It is in the old location of where Regal was. I took a couple of photos, but not everything that we ate.

Went to Bliss for Dim Sum and dinner, it was great! Food was of high quality and the BBQ chef is excellent. The Dim Sum congee and BBQ pork buns were really good, as well as the Steamed Egg Custard Buns. If you have a sweet tooth, you will really like the Buns! The service can get a bit slow on busy days, which happens often, especially at Dim Sum times. There is a nice upscale-feeling ambiance, and the waiters are diplomatic and helpful. Great Dim Sum and Dinner restaurant!!
Blissful!. We had come here on a Saturday morning at around 10:30 am for dim sum. When we walked-in, we noticed that there were only two other tables with diners however, it was still early in the morning at that point therefore, we knew that the restaurant would fill up once we were finished (which it surely did afterwards).
We chose a table near the front of the dining area, which was complete with chandeliers, large sculptures, and paintings. We thoroughly enjoyed the dining room as we found it to be elegant, yet simple. Also, there was a lot of room to walk-around, with the chairs and tables covered with nicely decorated linens.
We were then given a menu on a yellow sheet of paper which detailed all of the items in both English and Chinese. We then placed the quantity of each item in the column beside the item, then when we were ready, we waved the paper in the air until a server came by to collect it. This restaurant didn’t have the individuals walking around with the items on carts, something which we found nice as it wasn’t too noisy and crowded.
We waited about ten minutes for our first few items to arrive. We had ordered the Shrimp Dumplings, Pork & Shrimp Dumplings, Steamed BBQ Pork Buns, Minced Beef Meatballs, Steamed Chicken Feet, Steamed Buns With Egg Yolk, Baked BBQ Pork Buns, BBQ Pork Pastry, Shredded Chicken & Corn Congee, Egg Tarts, BBQ Pork Rice Rolls, and the Rice Rolls Wrapped With Dough. All of the items came at a good pace, not too quickly and not too slowly, with just enough time for us to enjoy each item given to us.
I personally found the Steamed Buns With Egg Yolk to be absolutely divine! The bun was filled with sweet egg yolk, which made it taste delicious, I was in heaven! I also thoroughly enjoyed the Rice Rolls Wrapped With Dough as it came with two different dipping sauces, which were both delicious.
I would have enjoyed if the items came out a bit hotter (temperature-wise) however, the taste of the items were delicious nonetheless. Also, we loved how great the service was, with various servers coming by to collect our empty dishes immediately upon finishing.
Once we were finished, we asked for the bill, which we received about five minutes after we had requested it. We were surprised to see that the bill came out to only about $57, which was a great deal considering that we had ordered thirteen dishes, and that we were four people. We were thoroughly impressed, and were quite full once finished as the portion sizes were large. We also had a lot of items that were leftover therefore, we were able to take them home.
It was hard to find a nice dim sum restaurant in Mississauga therefore, we were impressed that we were able to find this one (which has just recently opened). We will surely give this place another try in the future; it truly matched our standards, especially in regards to the food quality, cleanliness, service, and overall atmosphere. Thank you for such a great experience Bliss!
Came here for a private party and I was very impressed. We had our own locked off section. We were served a 10 course meal, the food was great quality. Service was great.
Love this place!
Popular Tim Sum restaurant that draws the crowds with its well cooked food and good service. There’s a lower pricing of items if you come for early lunch. Lots of the usual Tim Sum items on the menu. Portions are generous and taste is good. Must try items include the squid tentacles, siew mai, har gow, cheong fun and beef tendons.
Been coming here for years even before they changed their name to Bliss. This is a solid dim sum restaurant in Mississauga. I still come here occasionally from Oakville. Prices are reasonable, food is good. Most of the servers are pleasant except for a few bad apples.
Squid tentacles are the best here, they aren't breaded at all. Har gow/shrimp dumplings are very tasty here too. Just wish they had shrimp toast here.

*** Update February 2022***
After another round of lockdowns, things are returning to normal.
Time to return to dining in again and support our local businesses.
The food and service was top shelf as always.

Back for more Dim Sum :-)
And I placed an order for their special Chinese New Year set Dinners.
Why grocery shop and cook when you can call and pick up.
*** January 2021 ***
Dim Sum heaven !!! Take out to enjoy at home in the age of COVID.
*** December 2020 Update ***
I was beyond happy and excited to see that they are open for take out and get this: ALL DAY DIM SUM is Available for Take OUT !!!!
I have missed their food and service in general. But I have NOT had any REAL good Dim Sum during the pandemic. Until NOW !!! Woohoo!!!
The menu is available on their website and the entire dim sum menu is also on their FaceBook page.
I called in my order and I gave my order via the numbers on the Dim Sum menu ( ex: #2 Har Gar and #3 for Siu Mai ). My order was repeated back to me and it was ready for pick up in a short while.
The dim sum quality, freshness and taste are all on point. I imagine that the same Dim Sum chef/master is working. Fantastic news.
I will be back for more food. These independent restaurants/businesses need our combined support during the pandemic. I refuse to visit any chain establishments like Mucho Burrito, KFC etc....support the local mom and pop / Independent restaurants.

My family and I have been frequenting Bliss for several years now.
It really is the best Dim Sum restaurant in Mississauga hands down.
I find the service to be very good and attentive. So no complaints here.
The restaurant is comfortable as they have ample space to place their tables which will allow diners to not feel crammed in like a pack of sardines. This is refreshing to me because I always feel crammed in most Chinese restaurants.
Their dinner selections are equally as delicious. My wife is usually picky with her BBQ pork and Roast pork options offered by other restaurants. But they definitely do it spot on over here !!! Treat yourself to their BBQ selections if you can.
A++ experience all the way.
Omg most delicous dim sum . So freshly hot to . I love dim sum here . I could order one of everything . Cheung fan really delicous . I wish they will serve squid with shrimp paste and pork hock with sweet black vinegar though . Def for my bday . Im doing dim sum mukbang .
First time eating at Bliss. The dim sum was delicious. You order off the menu instead of carts. Everything was hot and fresh. Very good service and large dining room.
Came here for lunch with family on Mother’s Day. We ordered a few different types of dumplings and pot stickers along with several other dishes. Everything tasted delicious. Very glad that we tried this place.
